How can I use powershell to run through the installer?

Question

I am trying to install a piece of software that, when executed manually, has configuration options that you can select when going through the process. I am trying to find a way to automate this using powershell, but I am sticking to how I can set these configuration options. I believe that I need to run the start-process command in the .exe installer, but I do not know where to go from there. Can I use the start-process command options to pass in the configurations I want?

UPDATE : A few links below with information on how to install , configure, and extract files for files setup.exe.

UPDATE : See the PowerShell module for the Windows installer on github.com (scroll down for a description, use the releases tab to download ). I didn’t really check it out, but this is from Heath Stewart , Microsoft's senior software engineer ( github ).
